Abstract :
Obstructive sleep apnea, a disorder in which people stop or restrict their breathing while sleeping, is becoming more common. This lead to restless, disrupted sleep, which can cause headaches in the morning and exhaustion in the afternoon. Obstructive sleep apnea affects people of all ages, however it is more common among persons over the age of 60. As a result, the correct diagnosis is essential for effective treatment. This review discusses a variety of diagnostic processes, including as screening questionnaires, sleep tests, and other diagnostic approaches, in order to demonstrate how correct diagnosis might aid in the development of a more effective treatment plan.
